Mu Xinyi ignored the question. She didn’t even glance at Chen Kai, instead staring at her father as she gritted her teeth and said, “Dad, you know I never liked Chen Kai. The one I’ve always loved is Qin Ge! In this life, I belong to Qin Ge in life and in death! Even the assassination attempt—it was planned by Qin Ge and me together. We did it to sabotage the engagement ceremony. Dad, I beg you, stop forcing me. I’d rather die than not die in Qin Ge’s arms!”
The Patriarch Mu felt like his brain had turned into mush. Chen Kai was so furious he nearly shattered his molars from clenching his jaw.
He turned toward Qin Ge and roared, “Qin Ge, what the hell do you mean by all this?!”
Qin Ge held Mu Xinyi’s waist and tilted his head at Chen Kai, “Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear her clearly? Your fiancée—the woman you were supposed to get engaged to today—is now my woman. She said she’d rather die in my arms than pretend to love you. Still can’t understand?”
This kind of reaction from Mu Xinyi was exactly what Qin Ge had expected. Now that was more like it.
That was the scheming loli he remembered.
If she couldn’t even take advantage of such a golden opportunity, she might as well smash her own head against a wall and call it quits.
“Qin Ge, you’re looking to die!” Chen Kai’s eyes burned with killing intent as he shouted, “Kill him!”
The moment his words fell, several elite bodyguards he brought with him—all top-level fighters—lunged at Qin Ge from every direction, attacking with deadly precision.
Even Mu Xinyi was startled by the sight. She hadn’t expected Chen Kai to be so crazy—to the point of trying to kill someone on the Mu Family’s turf.
If he wanted revenge, at least wait until they were outside the Mu estate. This was recklessly stupid!
Compared to Qin Ge, Chen Kai’s brain looked like a chamber pot!
Just as the bodyguards were about to reach Qin Ge, a sudden flash of cold light shot through the air from the entrance.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Knives, sharp as bullets, pierced through the heads of the incoming guards, exiting clean through the other side.
Eight ancient martial arts experts dropped to the floor in pools of blood, dead on the spot.
Qiao Yingzi strode over on her long, deadly legs, quickly arriving at Qin Ge’s side. Her hands were folded behind her back, chest proudly raised, and her eyes were full of disdain as she stared at Chen Kai.
Chen Kai was still fuming. He glared at Qin Ge, grinding his teeth, “You think one bodyguard is enough to take on the entire Chen Family? A few like her? My Chen Family could summon hundreds more just like that with a snap of our fingers!”
Qin Ge shook his head with a smile.
Short-sighted fool.
Even without a destiny aura, Qiao Yingzi could go toe-to-toe with the seven Senior Sisters of the Child of Destiny Chen Yuan. She was no ordinary bodyguard.
But Qin Ge didn’t bother explaining. After all, in his eyes, Chen Kai didn’t even qualify as a worthy opponent.
“I think you’re confused about something. Your people are all dead. Mine could take your life at any moment. Are you sure you still want to talk tough?” Qin Ge pulled out a gun and aimed it at Chen Kai’s head.
He pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The bullet tore through Chen Kai’s right leg, sending him crashing to the ground in agony.
Mu Xinyi, watching from the side, exclaimed in surprise, “That’s He Chenguang’s gun, right? Aimed at the head but hit the leg?”
Qin Ge ignored her. He looked at Chen Kai in disgust and ordered coldly, “You’ve got one minute. Crawl out of the Mu estate. Otherwise, the next bullet blows your dog head open.” Read the latest chapters at g.com.
Clench!
Chen Kai ground his teeth hard.
Staring at Qin Ge, who held his fiancée in his arms, rage surged in his chest. But he didn’t dare to speak out again.
He leaned on a Mu Family guard and limped away, humiliated.
Bang—!
Another shot rang out. Chen Kai cried out as he sustained another wound.
Qin Ge kept a straight face and barked, “Crawl.”
Chen Kai gave Qin Ge a venomous glare, then released the guard and began crawling across the ground like a worm, dragging himself out in disgrace.
Mu Xinyi leaned close to Qin Ge’s ear and whispered, “Letting him go now is like letting a tiger return to the mountains. Indecision in cutting off danger always leads to chaos.”
Tiger?
Someone like Chen Kai?
Calling him a tiger was an insult to the word.
To Qin Ge, Chen Kai was more like a grasshopper—jumping around but never able to reach his knees.
Besides, Chen Kai still had value. Otherwise, Qin Ge would’ve already blown his head off.
Mu Xinyi, watching Chen Kai crawl away, insisted, “He’ll come back to get you.”
Qin Ge nodded, “I know. His revenge is part of the play.”
Uh—
Mu Xinyi choked on his words.
So Qin Ge had already planned not just the next step, but several steps ahead?
She couldn’t help but marvel, “If you played chess, you’d definitely be a grandmaster.”
Qin Ge grinned, “You’ve got good taste.”
So even Mu Xinyi had figured it out.
In his past life, what Qin Ge was most proud of wasn’t building a business empire from scratch—but his love for chess. He could beat professionals.
There was a time when he imagined that if he hadn’t chosen to start a business, he might have become an enthusiastic plumber… or a respectable single neighbor! New chapters come out on novelping dot com first.
“Uncle Mu, so… do you think the marriage between Xinyi and Chen Kai can be canceled?”
Qin Ge casually played with the Browning gun in his hand as he looked toward the Patriarch Mu.
The Patriarch Mu’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.
That’s how you speak to your future father-in-law?
Compared to Qin Ge, Chen Kai’s earlier rage seemed like the tantrum of a clueless rookie.
“Crazy… they’re all crazy… I don’t care anymore!” The Patriarch Mu let out a cold snort and walked away.
He wasn’t going to intervene anymore.
Qiao Yingzi’s deadly skills, Qin Ge’s Browning gun, and the attitude of this young master of the Qin Family—all of it made Qin Ge far too unpredictable.
Besides, Chen Kai wanted to kill Qin Ge, not him.
Let them fight.
No matter who came out on top, his daughter would still end up married. Once that happened, everything would fall into place.
Mu Xinyi watched her father’s back disappear and said mockingly, “So he’s raising you and Chen Kai together like bugs in a jar, waiting to see which one devours the other.”
“He doesn’t care who wins. He’s determined to marry me off. Honestly, if you and Chen Kai kill each other, he’d probably bring out a third candidate tomorrow!”
Qin Ge sighed, “Your old man’s not simple. Anyone who builds a business empire worth tens of billions from scratch is a real schemer.”
He eyed her baby-face and teased, “Fighting Chen Kai is no big deal. But your dad… that’s someone I need to seriously weigh my options against.”
Mu Xinyi stomped her foot in frustration, only to tug at her wound and wince in pain.
She rolled her eyes at him and grumbled, “You’re not going to ditch me halfway, are you? Leaving me now is basically throwing me to the wolves.”
Qin Ge stroked his chin and hesitated deliberately, “Helping you isn’t out of the question, but…”
“But what?” Mu Xinyi asked urgently.
Qin Ge grinned, “You’ll need to pay extra.”
Her lips had already gone dry from all the talking, and now he was pulling this?
Mu Xinyi shot him a seductive glance, full of charm.
She’d already taken a hit once. What did one more time matter?
With a sigh of resignation, she said, “Come with me.”
“Oof!”
